I have no idea. You could turn her in but the justice system is not equipped to deal with an eight year old like Rhoda. What are they gonna do, put her in prison? I think the mother just wanted to stop Rhoda from killing plus she felt like it was her fault not the child's. Plus the mom was planning to kill herself too.

cant concure with the word "evil".. i can concur with having a mental problem .. but anywayz, if their young .. they have their whole lives ahead of them , shouldnt be put away over a mistake at an young age

Where you you get these questions? I love my kids dearly but I've told them what my parents always told me. "if you ever do something bad enough to go to jail. I'm not going to visit anyone in prison". Thank goodness I was never put in that situation.

I loved the movie "Bad Seed" and the remake was pretty good, too. As a mother with a beautiful 14 year old daughter (who is a really nice, sweet young lady) I can't even fathom going through that or what I'd do in that case.

However, I would turn said child in to the law and have said child follow through due process... Think not?

I've had children in trouble with the law from time to time... and I've stood by them and supported them in court, but would not defend their actions and told them straight up that, while I love them unconditionally and completely, and because I love them unconditionally and completely, they will take whatever is coming to them...
